Of the explosion, bu: lone Is satisfactory

citcd!y talk OF Anarchists and their Gyna-
mite, but men Of sense discounteDance this
idle prattc. The general belief is that
escaping gas filled tie cellar, wherein was
kept q quantity Of kerosene oil and gaso-
line. The rapid fire and the fumes While
it burned indicate this. This theory is sup
ported hy the store boy, who says that he
noticed during the afternoon strong smell
OF gas. and before shutting Up the store for
the n;sllt at 1.30 o'clock, lie went through
the building looking tol an open burner.
He did not visit the cellar. The trcnlen-
dous force OF The explosion is the cause Of
the greatest doubt rs to this explanation.

Another Cholera Prevention.

The cases OF cholera which occurred in
the neighborhood of Mayence. premature
" diagnosed as English bat finally
identified as the terrible Asiatic cholera,
frightened the good citizens of Berlin and
induced the publication of q note by Pro-
fessor Koch, who for the last five years
has occupied a chair at the University and
presided over the HYGIENE institute. He
it was who pronounced the comma
DGsillgS' to be the cause OF the As.atic
cholera, and this opinion has been fol-
lowed by I. publication whose contents
are most agreeable to the thirsty Germans
and viii certainly adolf such be posi-
ble-to the Heidelberg tuns' which are
daily consumed.
Koch has declared. as the result of long
and thorough study, that the comma
bacillus soon dies in beer. This opinion
rcvoluti0niZcs the former theory that the
beverage was favorable TO the Iropaca-
ton II the disease, and asserts that water
= positively conducive to It's spread.
Beer, says the professor, is really bene-

dents being thoroughly cooked" and

Going Isnck to Sinlnlicity.

1t is evident that the dGys Of bric-a -brac
are numbered, and that we are about t.
feel strong reaction toward the classic
styles and severe simplicity. The archi
tects and decorators in New York say that
people profess themselves weary OF the
clutter they have been having round them
in their houses and asked to be furnished
in white and gold. Of course this was to
be expected sooner CT later. In former
and less hurried times the reaction
would have been delayed some time Ion
ger but in these days fashions change
with great rapidity
Ne:y likely we may 90 all the way back
to the Grecian type OF house before we
stop, wher once the mania for simplicity
sets in, an, if any one would know what
that type i beautiful example may be

4 Birds Eve View of the Earth,

II we imagine an observer contemplat-
ing the earth from Il convenient distance
in space, and scrutiniZing its features as
it rolls before him, we may suppose him
to be struck with the fact that eleven six
teenths of its surface is covered with
water and that the land is so unequally
distributed that from one point OF view
he would see hemisphere almost exelu-
sively oceanic while nearly the whole of
the dry land is gathered in the opposite
hemisphere He might observe that the
great oceanic area of the Pacific and
Antartic oceans is dotted with Islands
like q shallow pool with stones rising
above its surface-as If its general depth
were small in comparison with its area.
He might also notice that mass or belt
of land surrounds each pole. and that the
northern ring sends off to the southwark
three vast tongues Of land and of noun
tain chains, terminating respectively in
South America, South Africa and AUS
tralia toward which feebler and irsular
processes are given off by the Antarctic
continental mass.
This, as some geographers have OBJ
served gives q rudely three ribbed aspect
to tire earth. though two or three ribs are
crowded together and form the Europe
Asian mass CT double continent, while
the third is isolated in the single CONT
nelt Of America. He might also observe
that the northern girdle is cut across, so
that the AtlLntic opens by wide space
into the Arctic sea, while the Pacific is
contracted toward the north but continent
with the Antarctic ocean. The Atlantic
is also relatively deeper and less cum
bered with islands than the Pacific, which
has the higher ridge near its shores, con-
stituting what some visitors TO the Pacific
coast CT America have not iuaptly called
the back OF the world, y while the wider
slopes face the narrower ocean, into
which, for this reason, the greater part
Of the drainage of the land is poured

ton which is always at his service; but

Queer Feeding Customs.

y couple Of centuries ago most of the
kings and queens Of Europe partook of
their principal meals in a semi-public
fashion. That is to say, the royal saloons
were often crowded with cOurtiers who
simply came 10 witness and not to par
take Of tie royal banquet. Some Of the
ancient kings of France invested certain
OF their important banQUets with a bar
barous magEiGcence, and as they sat at
table the nobility served them on horse
back.
The sialdivian islanders used to take
their meals in the strictest solitude. They
would retire to the most hidden parts Of
their houses and close up their windows
SO that they might eat unobserved The
origin Of this singular custom was prob
ably the fear in savage times Of being de-
prived OF their meals by rarauders, and
superstitious fears Of the food being be-
v-itched by some incantation Of in enemy
also contributed to bring about the feast
Of solitude. Among the higher classes
there was q custom never TO eat with any
one inferior in birth, riches or dignity, and
and the great difficulty OF settling this
matter of equality left the only alter
native Of an UnsOciable and misanthropic
custom.-ChicagO Tribune.

Universities in Italy.

There are twenty one universities alto
gether in the kingom Of Italy, seventeen
Of which are .'royal" -that is. maintained
out Of the funds of the state: and four
''lree' universities (Camerino, Macerata,
Fcrrara and Perugia) are maintained out
Of local funds. There is only one univer-
sity for Piedmont, at Turin; for I.iguria,
at Genoa; ! for LomDartiy, at Pavia: l
for the old Venetian territories, at Padua:
? for the island of Sardinia, at Cagliari
and Sassari; Bologna, Modena, Ferrara
lie near each other: Tuscany has Pisa and
Siena; Rome is for central Italy; Naples
IS the only university for southern Italy:
while Sicily has three-Palermo, Messina.
Catania. Naples is attended by 3. 800
stUdents-an attendance which in central
Europe is only surpassed at Berlin and
Vienna. Turin has an attendance Of
., 100; Rome, 1890: Bologna, 1,160;
Padua, 1000; Pavia, GOO; Palermo, $50;
Genoa, about 500; Pisa, 600; Catania, 400
OF the others, Modena is at the head
with 2t0, and Ferrara at the foot with 49,
Surely nothing would be lost by the
amalgamation OF these miniature univer-
sites. Ferrara only processes to teach
medicine, mathematics and jurispru-
dence: Macerata, Jurisprudence only.

Ceriani is librarian of the Anlbrosian-
has not the rank of a university although
it doe more genuine university work than
